Young House Love » Giveaways » Fab Freebie: Boys In The Yard

Fab Freebie: Boys In The Yard

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

After lots of love proclamations for NSYNC, NKOTB and more, random.org has survived boy-band-mania and crowned our winner as… Megan G (who says she loves the original boy band…The Beatles). Congrats Megan!

In the spirit of a week of cleaning & organizing, who could use a new lawn mower to tidy things up outside? Well, someone’s getting this puppy (valued at $339) thanks to Lawn-Boy. It’s self propelled, easy to start, and features a “Blade Stop” system that allows you to turn off the blades without killing the engine, which comes in handy if you’ve got a lawn frequently peppered with sticks or toys (not that I’m speaking from experience or anything).

Lawn Boy Giveaway

  • PRIZE: The Lawn-Boy 10605 Mower
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “OH BOY!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … your favorite boy band of all time. Are you digging the new guys (One Direction, The Wanted)? Or do the ones from back in the day (Backstreet Boys, NSYNC) still get you going? How about the really old school ones (NKOTB, Boys II Men, Menudo)? Or have you rolled your eyes at this whole question?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, May 2nd at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Lawn-Boy.

    NKOTB. Hands down. I remember making my Barbie versions of them dance on the patio outside the house where I grew up.

    Btw, we SERIOUSLY need this. Just closed on our house 2 weeks ago and have a yard, but no mower!

    OH BOY!!

    N’ Sync all the way!! (I did want to like the Backstreet boys as they had come to my middle school before they were famous for our school winning a contest, and it made for a great story) However, I need to stay true to the feeling of my heart and crushed on N’ Sync for years. I could probably still sing most of their songs word for word.

    I’m definitely crossing my fingers hard for this giveaway. We just moved into a new house and don’t have a lawnmower. So, I’ve been scrounging at the yard sales for one…

    NKOTB no question. I saw them at the tender age of 5 at the height of their popularity and then got my mom to come up to DC to see them with me again at 23. Joey is still a cutie.

    I loved just about all of the old school bands you mentioned… I had the NKOTB action figures. Don’t hate. And the sweatshirt. And posters. OK, Hate a little.

    NSYNC probably has the title of my favorite… I love it when they pop up on XM’s 90s on 9 station.
